Coalition airstrikes targeted the IS in villages to the west, south and east of the city. They also hit an IS convoy, which included armored vehicles, which was coming from Manbij to reinforce the IS around the city.

The YPG advanced in fighting in the south and east of the city.

The FSA, with support from Peshmerga forces and the YPG, advanced to the west of the city.

Jabhat al-Nusra claimed to have found a mass grave at a captured HQ in the Syrian Revolutionaries Front stronghold of Deir Sunbol in Idlib.

I’ve noticed the last 24 hours that JaN has put out a lot of PR stuff, not including images from Idlib.

At least 6 barrel bombs were dropped on al-Tamanaa in Idlib.

Relatives of the 27 Lebanese soldiers and policemen who were captured by Jabhat al-Nusra and the Islamic State in Arsal in August met today with the head of the Higher Relief Committee, hoping to arrange the release of the prisoners.

Officials will meet later in the week the discuss the 3 different options set forth by JaN:

For every prisoner released, Lebanon will release 10.

7 prisoners will be released in exchange for the Syrian government releasing 210 women prisoners.

For each prisoner released, Lebanon will release 5 men and the Syrian government will release 50 women.
